The 56th FIATA World Congress will be held in Kuala Lumpur in October 2017, when the world’s logistics experts will gather to update, share information and speak on ground-breaking issues relating to the industry.
The theme for the 2017 Congress is: “Logistics Bridging Global Trade”, which is especially relevant in today’s economic climate, where the industry is required to facilitate the super-efficient movement of goods across international boundaries. As international business becomes increasingly borderless, more companies are expanding into the global arena, significantly increasing the demand for supply chain and logistics support. The Congress will therefore focus on the influence of customs policies, worldwide legislative developments in transport, the latest in technology, training and guidelines in security and safety.
